[I]This is a continuation of [URL="http://www.gamersbin.com/blogs/andrew-adams/runescape-skill-guide-how-train-thieving-part-1-10/"]part 1[/URL] of my guide, if you have not read that i strongly reccomend you do so now, or you will be slightly lost when reading this guide[/I]

[B][SIZE="5"]Part 2: pickpocketing tutors (level 50-91)[/SIZE][/B]
After you have completed the quest buyers and cellars, and the first sub quest (started by talking to the head of the thieves guild, which is unlocked after completing buyers and cellars, along with a minute amount of thieving exp. completing the first sub quest will allow you to train on pickpocketing tutors, which are in the part of the guild unlocked by the quest. Pickpocketing these will result in 40,000 exp an hour at lower levels, going up to an impressive 90,000 exp per hour at the higher levels. While, unfortunately there is no reward for pickpocketing these, they only deal 1 life point of damage, meaning no food is needed and you can pickpocket for as long as you patience allows you.

[SIZE="5"][B]Plunder the pyramid (level 91-99)[/B][/SIZE]
Theres not too much i can say about pyramid plunder, other than it is probably the best exp in the game. Whether you have fun or not here really depends on your personal opinion, and i would only reccomend it if you enjoy it, or are impatient, as my alternate method is preferable for those in thieving for the long run. There is no point to explaining pyramid plunder, as that is a fun part of the challenge. To get to the pyramid plunder pyramid, buy a Pharaohs sceptre on the grand exchange for roughly 900k, and teleport to the thieving pyramid.

[B][SIZE="5"]Back to the farmers (level 90-99)[/SIZE][/B]
Coming back to master farmers is a good idea at this point, as you will not fail as much (lots of food will still be needed though) and the exp per hour is quite good, and the money per hour can vary from 100k per hour to 500k+ per hour, depending on how lucky you are with the seeds you get. This section of the guide will be the most in depth, as it will take a large amount of playing time to go from level 90-99, however you will amass some serious riches (60million GP+) on the way. While doing this much pickpocketing may not seem like it needs strategy, getting optimum pickpockets per hour will really help

Your bank set up:
[img]http://i53.tinypic.com/16jlweq.png[/img]
The food you'll be using, all the seeds you'll be keeping (you should keep them all, even the cabbage seeds add up eventually)


Inventory set up:
[img]http://i56.tinypic.com/169mhyx.png[/img]
The food you'll be using x 5, and as little else as possible (nothing is preferable)


Equipment/skills set up:
(if you don't have something, don't worry just miss it)
highest constitution level possible
agility 58+ (for quadruple loot)
Hunter level 54 (for gloves)
Regeneration bracelet
Ardougne cape 3 or 4
Gloves of silence

location:
Draynor, next to the bank. The amount of banking means Ardougne is not an option.

[B]I attained 99 thieving using this method, and made A LOT. All the seeds add up into the tens of millions, its slower, but amazing money.[/B]

[B][SIZE="5"]The road beyond 99....(level 99)[/SIZE][/B]
if you are a true master thieve, then congratulations! You have just gotten one of the hardest accomplishments in this game, feel free to splash a few million coins on something nice for yourself . Thieving beyond 99 has little point, unless you intend to reach the maximum exp (16 times more than 99) then you should focus on profit over exp thieving from here on, if you are dedicated to the way of the thieve. The previously mentioned methods pretty much cover any thieving you'll want to do at 99

[B][SIZE="5"]Rewards for thieving[/SIZE][/B]
A high thieving level is a handy thing to have, as it gives you a lower chance of being stolen from in stealing creation, and a lower chance of having your imps released in the puro puro minigame (which can be a useful way to train your thieving for the gloves) as well as the dungeoneering benefits of being able to open more doors, and being able to open more chests, giving you a lot more money inside dungeoneering. There's also the cape... bought from martin Thwaite at rogues den (underneath Buthorpe inn) for 99,000 coins, which is arguably the best of the skill capes, shown below:
